Post by: dedalos on January 27, 2008, 11:54:44 AM
Could you please make it a rule that in some, not all, fields in the DA people are not allowed to interrupt duels?  They can fly there if they are fighting someone else.  Just don't interrupt other peoples fights.  It has become the standard there now.  Some guy will up a lala and come stop your fight.  They ignore vox and txt.  Is there anything you can do?  With the state of the MA and AvA, this is all I am paying for.  If that does not get fixed I really have no reason to continue to be a subscriber.

Alternatively, turn kill shooter on and I will take care of myself.  Right now there is nothing I can do.  Even emailing you the IDs of the people is useless because there are just too many of them and the email would come after they would have successfully ruin my night.

I thought the whole point of the DA was for two players to be able to square off 1v1?

Anything else and it sounds like another MA.

Strangely, I'm with Dedalos on this one I think.

twinboom, don't be rude.  It sounds like a very legitimate complaint.  Are you just looking for an excuse to call someone a whiner because it's fun to pretend you're in high school again?

Here at the AH boards some don't believe in the value of even-handed criticism and will call anything whining.  It's so refined and well-developed in some that irrationally deriding people has become an art, like the art of using logical fallacies in debate.

I think Dedalos has a very solid point. I never even knew such things happened in the D/A as i thought the entire point of the arena was for 1 on 1. I dont blame him for being upset.

Yes, you are probably right.  I take everything I do serious and I like encouraging and helping the underdog instead of gloating over All channel how I just killed him 5 times in a row. That's just me.  Guess I should lighten up to the different personalities.

Anyway, it wasn't 6 months ago when you could usually engage in furball island/pond and enemy planes would circle over head respecting the fight.  It has changed a lot in a short time.  The AvA was the same way but has also changed.  I feel the same way as Dedalos when it comes to wanting an area where multiple friends (friendly and enemy) can fly and the fight is respected.

I've had the same problem in the DA before, we'd have a squad event going on and someone would fly in, we'd ask them to please leave or just don't interrupt, they would either ignore it, or agree to stay away, then fly in and start shooting guys, it would be nice to have a way to stop them.

If guys are working on something in the DA a radio call or text message should be respected and not invaded by outsiders , as there are plenty of airfields from which to fly . if HTC wants to do something they will but a little courtesy goes a long ways towards everyones happiness .

Yep.  Ask JohnnyRa his son and BadBoy what happens when you do that.  

TwinBoom is upset because he was doing the exact same thing I am complaining about.  When I asked why he was interrupting our fights he started shooting his mouth.  Then his arse was promptly handed to him a few times since he cant BnZ a P40 in a p38, and he left.

I am not threatening to quit if I don't get my way.  I am just saying that after 5 years, a duel here and there is why I keep paying my subscription.  Everyone is catering to the toolsheding and gang banging at the moment.  It would not kill anyone to allow for a couple of fights in a couple of fields, would it?  There are 5 arenas to enjoy the other kind of game play

The furball area in the DA sucks at this point ... I keep popping in there ... check out the roster (idiots abound now) ... check out all the rides (tempests everywhere) ... and in most cases, I leave.

Anyway, it wasn't 6 months ago when you could usually engage in furball island/pond and enemy planes would circle over head respecting the fight. It has changed a lot in a short time.

That's what made the furball area fun to fly in ... not true anymore.

Post by: dedalos on January 28, 2008, 09:26:24 AM
Just to make my self clear.  I am only asking for a few fields.  The Cherry pick area can remain the Cherri pick area and the fields that you are allowed to be an arse can remain that (since there seems to be a need for it).  Just a few fields that fights should be respected.

Funny how I have to ask for this in a place called the Dueling Arena :lol

Maybe HTC could put a simple MOTD in there so the idiots at least would see what the rules of the DA are.  Might help a bit or at least give them no excuse of supposedly not knowing.

I hate counterstrike squeakers.

Kinda to expect from 'low on AH evolution scale' type of guys like JohnnyRa and squeakers, but I've never figured out why guys like BadBoy, FX1, TwinBoom (and few others) would do that (not once, but repeatedly).

Called "consideration".  You have it or you don't or you are forced to my a mod.

   Last time I was in DA there was only 1 other person at the field so I up a F4U1 to get into a stall fight, which is fun for me.  It was a good one that lasted about 20 minutes it seemed with 3 or 4 sepertions and reengagements.  Then all of the sudden I exploded while on his 6.  Guess more players showed up and seen a stalled F4u as a fun easy kill for Mr.Wilky.   I thanked him for srewing up the best fight I'd been in for a while and he said something to the effect of "you're most welcome"

From talking to vets, it doesn't seem this is what the DA was set up, or intended, to be like.

That "MrWilky" guy is the largest puss boil on the face of the DA arena.

His intent in there is merely to piss people off and cause constant conflict.

I got into it with him once calling him on his behavior and constant pollution of the ALL channel and as expected ... it only made him worse.

As I said before ... I check the roster when popping into the DA ... if I see his name on the list ... I log right out ... I don't need that crap ... I play this game to have FUN ... not engage in personal conflict. It's a shame that the likes of him can exist in the DA with no consequence.

"From talking to vets, it doesn't seem this is what the DA was set up, or intended, to be like."

The DA has been replaced with the H2H FFA mentality. Most are people who can only hand you your arse ... when your already engaged ... in nothing but the "hotrod" planes. I very rarely see most of the names in the DA, in the Main Arenas ... probably because they couldn't survive there.

We use to spend hours in the DA Had great fights and learned something...

You could actually get a fun conversation going on 200. I have meet the Great the bad and the ugly in the DA.

If you have F3 views enabled it only sends people down the dweebery path. they get to the MA and can't figure out why they getting killed. So then they challenge "DA ?" Also Ive noticed people flying with sounds tuned down  just more "dweebery"

 :lol  I don't remember being the one shooting his mouth off.  In any case.  No response from HT.  I wonder what would happen if I started responding like you :lol  

Tell you what.  I can't quit.  I like this game and when I find the few guys worth talking to on line, it is fun.  But, I guess I can join the club also.  So since this behavior is encouraged by the silence of the service provider, and it is my $15, and bla bla bla, I will make it a point to go into the DA for an hour every night  and just be rude and interrupt duels.  Who knows?  Maybe I could become a trainer like BadBoy if I get good at this.   :aok

Isn't furballing exactly that? It's even called the Furballing area. When my squadmates and I go to the DA, we do a couple duels in the designated areas (where we are left alone), then we head to the furball area and usually work on wingman tactics. We expect to get picked at, that's what it's for. Help you raise your SA without having to fly for 15 minutes first. If you want your own fight. Get with someone else that wants to, and fight there.

Maybe make a roster on the BB with times and names of people who would like to find good 1 vs 1's and coordinate that way( I know there are plenty of AvA oldschoolers that are missing this also). Then take it to the designated fields. But I agree. An MOTD would at least give set rules so if someone is messing with your 1 on 1s, you have reason to film him and send to HTC.

Yes it's called the Dueling Arena. But within the Arena, there is an area called "FURBALLING".

One more time.  I am not talking about the cherry picking area.  I am only asking about the other fields.  This had nothing to do with TB.  I had forgotten it happened until he posted.  This is about every frigin day now.

TB, you were invited by someone to a field.  i dont think he told you to  come cherry pick or shoot your mouth

Maybe we need some enforcers in the DA?
A group of pilots from each country to fly cap together and keep the spoilers out of the duelling area while people are there. No need to worry about killshooter being on or off since there would be at least two other pilots who could deal with the offender.

Exactly:aok
Poetic justice.
The picker comes in to the duel, he knows his opponent is fixated on the task at hand.  He carefully plans his approach, flies in and takes careful aim...and BOOM he's back in the tower with a nice white message in the text buffer
Enforcer1:NO PICKING IN THE DUELLING AREA

Killshooter was turned off because a griefer could start vulching right away. Pretty soon, you just had one field with people trying to up and vulch each other.

It's also why GV's were disabled at some fields.

It actually needs a full time CM, just like the AvA or the TA.

So why did you enguage him when he was in the DA. did you two agree on a duel? why would you expect him to leave when he was the one dueling ?Is that what the DA is for?people like you are the reason the old DA is no more!:furious

A different game, long since dead......had an interesting way of handling duels. Once you accepted the duel, you kinda had a private room. You could still see the arena chat but you could only see your dueling opponents plane and no one else. The rest of the arena couldn't see the duelers either.

A setup like this would stop the griefers in their tracks. I know, I know.....HTC is working on Combat Tour and are very busy.....

.duel dedalos puts me and him in a "bubble" where only we can damage eachother. and everyone else gets rubber bullets on our planes.

HT should let the community settle this.  Turn killshooter off, and we elect 3 or 4 peeps that we know are on the up and up who visit DA regularly to mod the place.  If someone is griefing, they get a warning.  If they continue to grief, they get booted.  Very easy.:aok

As I said before ... I check the roster when popping into the DA ... if I see his name on the list ... I log right out ... I don't need that crap ... I play this game to have FUN ... not engage in personal conflict. It's a shame that the likes of him can exist in the DA with no consequence.

"From talking to vets, it doesn't seem this is what the DA was set up, or intended, to be like."

The DA has been replaced with the H2H FFA mentality. Most are people who can only hand you your arse ... when your already engaged ... in nothing but the "hotrod" planes. I very rarely see most of the names in the DA, in the Main Arenas ... probably because they couldn't survive there.


that's why i love flying a nik in there and handing them there butts lol

yea wilky was in a 190 a8 lol he did this ho,run ho,run turn turn turn low on e drag low eject.
after he ejected with me on his six im like WTF was that for ,
his simply reply was "boring fight"  
my response was  
learn to fight first before you call it boring.
.......that was the first time i ever got text baned it was like for an hour and a half cause i wasnt paying attention and kept using the f and stupid c**nt words and hitting enter lol

I don't go to the DA but I'm pretty sure I would be super pissed if this happened during a duel.

How exactly would one be able to enforce such a rule?  Seems like it would have to be policed by mods with /kick powers...

That's a pretty dang good idea but would exclude anything except a 1v1...  don't know if that's much of an issue though.

if it is rule, all i have to do is film it and send it to HT.  Right now, they are not doing anything wrong.  Actually, I am probably the problem to HT for even starting a thread like this.  Funny how they don't have an opinion on this subject

Well, I think it's a valid question, I mean it IS called "Dueling Arena", not "Let's See Who We Can Piss Off By Ruining The Dueling Arena".

Scary that I agree with you. ;)

Very practical idea Scotch.  What if there is a 3 way?  Sometimes guys like to jump in (after asking) a duel so maybe it can be

.duel gameid gameid gameid.......and so on so it can sort of be a little private club lets say.  to get out of it simpley        .unduel all

Of course I don't know the inner workings of the "COAD". But I would think there'd be a way to include multiple people. And with something like this you're not relying on a moderator with set hours. You're not giving whiners any chance of complaints of bias moderating, etc. Pretty straightforward.

What this really boils down to is a lack of respect for other people.

I have been playing for about 4 or 5 years now, and I have found you reap what you sow, if you treat others with respect and courtesy, you tend to get it back.

Why is it so difficult to respect a "duel" in the "dueling" arena?

Sounds like Dedalos has a legitimate beef, and was describing a general problem he has observed in the dueling arena.

As far as Twinboom is concerned he chose to flatter himself by assuming Dedalos was refering to a specific incident where he was involved.

All Twinboom has proven is that he is good at finding pictures/clips of babies and boys crying, and doing the cut and paste thing on the BBS.

Give a little respect and you will get it back by the bucket loads.

Whats funny is how some people are allowed to continiusly flame, attack, and preaty match break every forum rule and some others get banned for arguing with the creator.

Either follow your own rules or remove them.  Aplplying them only to people that you don't like is pathetic.

You know, I've heard some say that there's a split in the community, for some time now.

I don't think it's a clean split; It's more like a broken windshield, with cracks going every which way. It reflects' on the BBS, on Ch. 200, in the way people respect each other in the arena's.

I'm waiting for HiTech to figure out a way to spank the children.

What comunity? It is a bunch of guys playing a game.  Some think its real and act as if they are in the airforce, some just play to waste time, some go out of their way to be arses.  The all have one thing in common.  Credit cards.  As long as those creditcards are good no one is going to get spanked.  Some may get banned from the BBS for personal reasons but there isn't going to be an mass "spanking" of anyone.  HT likes to eat.

You don't need a credit card to post on the BBS, however. As to the game, that's different.
